Exploring How Scripts & Tools Can Be Shared across the Industry to Reduce Duplication & Realize New Synergies across Our Work

This session will discuss:

Understanding the needs of the industry in order to create relevant applications that can be widely shared.

Addressing the challenges to tool-sharing and open source: debunking misconceptions, justifying hours spent on shared work, and modularly developing these tools and scripts so that they function together.

Exploring the benefits of a shared tool ecosystem: combining shared and commercially available software into a cohesive toolkit that is greater than the sum of its parts.

Identifying and establishing common platforms where information can be gathered and distributed across teams, offices and externally across companies to establish a collaborative community.
